![]() Some chain signals may seem unnecessary.Outer lanes in 4-way Intersections from 4 Lane books (category A) do not have left turns.Most of your network will consist of blueprints from Category A, Category B will find some use for sure, but these books are more specialized, and Category C will be used very rarely if at all.*Categories do not represent book nesting Notes Rails: Station Entrance/Exit | Row 1: 2 Lanes | Row 2: 4 Lanes It is meant to be used before you research artillery, and stations that can service artillery wagons won't work without it. Another book, with the same blueprints except for the fact that they care about artillery.A blueprint of a roboport with a buffer chest to supply your walls no matter how far from the station they span.Trains with set schedules to make use of those stations.Stations suited for maintaining your walls in good shape.There is a book called "Maintenance" where you can find:.No underlay - who needs walls on water?.There are gates too, but no diagonal ones as there is no logic in the game itself that would allow for placing gates on diagonal rails.There is no overlap with rails, so you never have to manually correct anything.Every wall blueprint has grid snapping for the same grid as rails.Every blueprint has underlay to allow placing on water (Shift+LMB to place landfill, and LMB to place blueprint, you can also just double-click Shift+LMB)Įverything on this picture was placed from blueprints.Grid snapping is on, so you can use them like a "chunk aligned network" (blueprints can only be placed on an artificial grid that lets you start building from 2 completely disconnected points on the map and ensures that they can still be perfectly connected, see FFF #357 under the "Snapping" section).Each section is 21x21 or 42x42 tiles big (books are focused on throughput for 6 / trains and that is exactly the border length of the square in which all blueprints here fit, hence they are not chunk aligned).Any length will work, those are just suggestions / (to avoid deadlocks there should be space equivalent or larger to the length of your longest train between intersections.) Optimized for 6 / long trains, but works well with it's multiples and divisors. ![]() not a perfect ratio, I'm not a masochist and it "probably" would be impossible anyway.there are some paths left between solar panels so you can get run over by a train again.& included because why would you want to waste so much space (aesthetics first though).to achieve that, some blueprints don't have the best possible signal placement, but it's still perfect signalling (no 2 crosses of rail are in the same block).some of that upgradability was sacrificed for the sake of throughput (extreme edge cases).many blueprints are upgradable into others from the same book or even other categories.All blueprints are always upgradable into their equivalents from other books placed lower on the list in the "Rail Book Categories" section as long as they are in the same category.Right click & open image in new tab for better resolution Details:Īll of them in non-solar variants | see Rail Book Categories for close ups On top of that, you can find stations for aforementioned train sizes (includes LTN variants) and a kit to make new ones, as well as some basic stackers. There also is a set of wall blueprints to protect your rails from natives. ![]() Speaking of size, train length that will have the best time on those rails is 6 but nothing stops you from using other lengths. If you wonder - no, those are not all possible intersections for their size. Each intersection has one duplicate with solar panels and accumulators taking up the free space between the lanes. Basically, it's a "Modular Rail System" with "Absolute Reference Point" enabled for "Chunk Aligned Network" like benefits, several intersections that most people will probably never find a use for, but they're still here just in case. And then I found a week to bring it to life. Oh! And make it double by putting some solar panels here and there"? If not - worry not for I did. Have you ever fought to yourself "Man, I really could use over a 100 different rail blueprints. Keeping for historical reasons and my satisfaction every time I see how this book grew Short summary: And that's only the endpoints of the book tree. At this point the original title is inaccurate. ![]()
